ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL September 27, 2010 3 <br />2. Public Inquiries /Informational (continued) <br />Councilmember Holmes stated the laws did not change just the interpretation of the law and if <br />the City would have granted this type of variance in the past then they should be able to grant this <br />type of variance now. A decision would be hard to make at this time based on the information <br />presented. She would recommend going through the process. <br />Mayor Harpstead stated City Planner Beekman is the right person for Mr. and Mrs. Frank to <br />work with. Staff would be able to council them on the next available steps. <br />City Administrator Patrick Klaers stated Staff is trying to be careful not to waste Mr. and Mrs. <br />Frank's time or money if, per state law, it is almost certain that the request will not be approved. <br />Mayor Harpstead suggested Staff contact City Attorney Filla and find out what his <br />recommendation might be in a situation similar to the one being presented and provide that <br />information to the Council in the Admin Update. <br />Mr. Dave Cmiel, 1861 West Highway 96, Arden Hills, requested the City Council look at ways <br />to keep the City connected with the reconstruction on Highway 10 and County Road 96, Interstate <br />694 and Highway 35W. These roads could dissect the City into sections and the Council needs to <br />look at ways to keep the City together when looking at giving Municipal Consent for the I -694 <br />project. He provided the City Council with examples that could be considered to keep the City <br />connected. <br />Mayor Harpstead stated the City has approached the State about decommissioning the City's <br />portion of Highway 10 but the State will not advocate this section of road being turned over to the <br />County. <br />Mayor Harpstead closed the Public Inquiries /Informational at 7:30 p.m. <br />3.
